T6G 2E3 Abstract The mountain pine beetle MPB is a major pest of North American forests Intermittent outbreaks have historically occurred but warming conditions have allowed the current eruption to expand beyond the beetle s historic range It has recently begun killing lodgepole and hybrid lodgepole jack pines in Alberta The extent to which this pest will establish in jack pine and whether it will expand into eastern forests are unknown We are investigating one component of MPB invasion how drought affects tree defenses against MPB We focused on three pine species and found some variations in their defenses against MPB These investigations will provide an improved understanding of the biological functions of MPB with their host trees and environment and help clarify the constraints on and opportunities for beetle adaptations to new environments and the influence of host trees on these processes The resulting outcome will be useful for the development of effective sustainable and environmentally friendly pest management strategies Further this work will help us understand factors contributing to host and range expansion of forest insects a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly prevalent with altered climate R sum Le dendroctone du pin ponderosa DPP est un insecte ravageur important des for ts de l Am rique du Nord o il a pullul p riodiquement dans le pass Toutefois sous l effet du r chauffement du climat l a

265. y Centre Canadian Wood Fibre Centre Corner Brook NL A2H 6P9 Abstract Climatic changes seem to increase the frequency of extreme climatic conditions like drought periods Dendrochronology is a useful tool to link the incidence of abiotic stress with tree pests We have applied this method of observation to red spruces Picea rubens infested by the spruce beetle Dendroctonus rufipennis in Nova Scotia Increment cores collected at the base of trees under attack by these beetles showed growth reduction for the last 11 years These reductions seem to be caused by Armillaria root diseases Weather data showed that a severe drought occurred before the beginning of the growth decrease in 1997 When the increase of beetle population reached a peak healthy spruces showing a normal growth began to be under attack by the beetle in 2009 This last event seems to show that spruce beetle is acting like a primary insect but in fact it is only a consequence of an epizooty of the beetle population following root diseases The observation of the forest ecosystem over periods of several years helps to better understand the relationship between natural phenomenon appearing in a cascade of events during the long life of these trees life that reaches often hundred years or more R sum Les changements climatiques semblent augmenter la fr quence de conditions m t orologiques extr mes comme des p riodes de grandes s cheresses La dendrochronologie est un out
